Gotta tie this up before KC goes to Herrera and Holland

Big out there! Nice range by Beckham.

Seems like this is Liriano's last batter if Butler reaches. He was cruising along until that Cain homer.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 01:28 AM) Who would you have hitting 2nd? Its a home game so its unfortunate Youkilis is gone tonight. Why couldn't they induce labor when the Sox were on the road ? I would have gone with Beckham batting 2nd tonight, as I'm still convinced he focuses more in that spot than 9th.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:24 AM) A walk and a triple. Keep b****ing. Jose Lopez 0-3 with 3 men LOB

Liriano's slider tonight isn't sharp at all. Liriano keeping up the tradition of allowing runs after the White Sox score.

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:21 AM) Left hitters are doing quite well agst him. He is doing a great job agst our RHs by pitching inside and they can't catch up w it. Lopez sucks. Why not Hudson? Does RV read scouting reports? Hudson is so bad on defense, I don't think they've played him at 3b in a few months.

Wow, Lopez has no clue on how to stay back on that curve. 0-3 in the first 4 innings.

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:13 AM) Way to go AJP. RV, left handed hitters are killing Mendoza. Don't yousee it? Try Dan Johnson in place of PK. You never know. I'm fine with him playing PK when Youk and Dunn are out.

Viciedo, as balta will agree with, just has no prayer right now against inside fastballs from RHP

AJP! He juiced that one

QUOTE (That funky motion @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:09 AM) Nice DP One bad pitch for Liriano tonight

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:08 AM) I blame this one on RV. obviously the left hand hitters are killing Mendoza and he leaves Beckham and Viciedo hitting having Hudson and Danks. Also What's wrong with Youk? Lopez sucks! Beckham's been swinging the bat better of late, and he did have a game winning HR against Mendoza lately. Hopefully Viciedo shuts me (and others up), but I have no idea why he got the start tonight against a pitcher that's destroyed him this year.

QUOTE (daggins @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:05 AM) Sometimes you look at a team and think man, they must really want to lose to play that badly. Konerko is now 4-24 and no home runs with runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs (13 RBIs in this situation).

Sox right handed hitters seem to be so fooled by Mendoza throwing that offspeed pitch to the outer half. Lefties seem to be all over him tonight.

Awful base running by Wise so far tonight. That was a stupid decision to send him, especially since it appears he got a terrible jump.

Pathetic

Konerko with a horrible, defensive at bat

Anyone with replay able to confirm Wise touched 2nd?

Wise with the leadoff triple! Not sure if he touched second.

Nice pick by PK! Hurry back Youk!

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 01:51 AM) The Ozzie Guillen rule of managing. X player plays x position so the replacement player takes his exact spot. You don't like two DFA'd players batting 2nd and 3rd for the Sox in the last month of a pennant chase?

So why is Jose Lopez batting 2nd, especially against a righty? Thankfully they face a LHP tomorrow so Ventura won't have to think about whether or not to keep playing Viciedo.

ADA swinging the bat very well tonight.

Wow Alexei, wow...awful at bat
